What I'm finding really fascinating about this saga is that there's an "Earth II" scenario, where Trump eeks out a victory in 2020 and this story that The Intercept broke is the setup for him to be impeached again. I fundamentally do not follow the arguments that people are putting forward for why these "committees" are needed. Imagine a Trump appointed DHS secretary using (or abusing) this portal for requesting takedowns of information about everything from 2020 to the current goings on in the Ukraine war.

These tools shouldn't exist.
